DAW Evolution VI : Pro Tools – Past, Present, Future !
Hosted by Vin Curigliano of AAVIM Technology, I am joined by guest
co-host Pete Brown of Microsoft and special guest Mark Jeffery, who
is the the original co-designer and software developer of Pro Edit
and Pro Tools, and is currently a Senior Engineer at AVID.
We discuss Marks personal history with music , computers and
technology, how that lead a path to joining Digidesign in the very
early stages of the company, and the eventual journey to fathering
Pro Tools.
We cover Marks earliest work at Digidesign with products pre Pro
Tools, such as Soft Synth and Turbo Synth , and the evolving
technical landscape that lead to the earliest incarnations of Pro
Tools. We detail how Digidesign rode that technology wave
developing and expanding Pro Tools and its accompanying hardware in
step with the revolutionary changes taking place in the computer
and music technology landscape of the time.
We discuss the pivotal role and acknowledge a roll call of
extremely talented and visionary engineers that worked behind the
scenes to deliver the advancements of the platform over the years,
that has helped it maintain its industry standard status.
We take a deep dive into the various versions and milestones over
the 3 decade history of Pro Tools, navigate some new emerging
technologies like Atmos Music , discuss the ongoing balancing act
of Native v DSP powered solutions, and much, much more.
